Is it for family or business? My wife also makes a lot of calls (well gets a lot more often). It was all for family though so I pushed them all to get apple devices (before hangouts were working properly and Skype is too complicated for some of the family members). They are all much happier for it. The phone bill doesn't exist as its all over the internet. I get some people want a landline. I think it is way over priced though. Eventually I will buy a non-contracted cell and use that.
All family, some quite old that do not have/will not get cells. The only 'apples' they know are the ones that pull their teeth out! Actually, out of the whole deal, that is about the best bit. $2.95 a month and one cent a minute, anywhere in the world. We did use AT&T's offering which was $10 a month for 250 international minutes (on the iPhone) but the call quality was not as good as a landline. Still, I appreciate your perspective and will look again at the price of internet.

Hard to be rates like that. Yeah the tech barrier is difficult with older family members. I figure I got my dad who refused to touch a computer up until about 5 years ago using Facetime on the iPad then anyone can get on board with tech. The issue is that sometimes they need "facetime" to get things like Facetime working. Very difficult when they are 10K miles away. Fortunately my mother in law while not tech savy is willing to get some tech help. She got the iPhone on her own and figured out how to use facetime with some help over there. While the cost savings were a big reason why I pushed it on them it was also for the actual "facetime". My wife and I have 2 young-lings and this way their BACHAN (grandma) can see them and they can see her. They all love it :)
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

Good info. Thanx! I will likely get one when I move again. Right now in a leased townhome so I am not going to deal with the trouble :)

Your welcome. I found some different brands so a little research and reading of reviews may be needed. You also have to rember the "advertised" range is also effected by objects in the way such as trees and tall buildings. Grain Silo's :) ect. At some point I will need to get me one.
